Amphilóquio Guarisi Marques (26 December 1905 — 8 June 1974) was an Italian Brazilian footballer who played as a forward. In Brazil he was known as Filó. Throughout his career he played football in both Brazil and Italy, representing both nations at international level, and was a member of the Italian team that won the 1934 FIFA World Cup.
Born in São Paulo, in 1922 Guarisi started his career in Portuguesa, where his father, Manuel Augusto Marques, was the president.
In 1925 he transferred to Paulistano, where he played alongside the legendary figure of Arthur Friedenreich. In the same year, in a friendly match against France on Europe, he scored one of the goals, and the game ended Paulistano 7–2 France.
On December 6, 1925, he made his first appearance for Brazil, against Paraguay. This match ended Brazil 5–2, and Filó scored one of the goals. He was a member of the Brazil team that finished in second place in the 1925 South American Championship.
With Paulistano, he won the Campeonato Paulista of 1926 (when he was the top scorer, with 16 goals), 1927 and 1929, for the Amateur League of Football. In 1929, he was also champion for Corinthians, for the Paulista Athletic Sports Association (in those years, there were two football leagues in São Paulo). In 1930, he won another Campeonato Paulista for Corinthians.
